SCHAMBERG'S DISEASE
Abstract
Schamberg's disease is located mainly at the lower extremities and characterized by asymptomatic rash of little or much pigmented plaques (red-brown) and peripheral redish maculaes. 27 patients, soldiers 18-30 years old, with bilateral rash of the lower legs were examined. Purpura was checked thoroughly. Νο disturbance was found ίη any patient. The disease worries patients and physicians of other specialties but it doesn't hide any νascular distress or thrombocytes disturbance. The prognosis is good.References
